Whilst we support this policy approach the requirement that all planning applications demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations is unnecessary as these are different regulatory regimes and should not overlap. For example, it is a requirement of current Building Regulations to design schemes at 110 litres per person per day, so this does not need to be demonstrated at the planning application stage.
